“Very serious, a bit of a jerk” – Nottingham Forest star moves to clear up teammate’s image, total opposite to appearance

Murillo, a standout for Nottingham Forest, has maintained that teammate Nikola Milenkovic is not who he seems to be based solely on his appearance. The defender has been discussing a number of Nottingham Forest topics with GE Globo today, including his defensive partner Milenkovic. This season, the two have established a strong central combination at the core of Nottingham Forest’s defense, which has served as the foundation for their success. In an era of exorbitant transfer fees, Milenkovic is turning out to be one of the season’s best acquisitions, and the €12.3 million spent to acquire him seems like a great deal.

In contrast to the contemporary center-back, the 27-year-old has gained a growing reputation and is viewed as somewhat of an archaic relic. His looks has helped him project that image; the Serbian is rarely seen laughing and smiling on the field, especially when compared to his more upbeat Brazilian counterpart. However, Murillo is adamant that the Nottingham Forest defender is not what you see, and he wants to help alter the perception of him.

He comes across as a bit of a jerk who doesn’t take jokes on TV. He said, “He’s always serious.” “But it’s completely the opposite here.” He enjoys playing and reviewing. He hardly ever scowls and fights. He never stops joking and laughing. The fact that he is a defender and maintains a straight face makes it much more amusing to watch this opposing viewpoint on television. He is hilarious every day.
